Happy birthday Tom!

Ugh. I'm up. Combination of training myself to DST, being an idiot and having caffeine at 7 pm last night and needing to get stuff done before I go babysit for an afternoon. I'd LOVE to go back to bed, but if I did, I probably wouldn't wake up until noon. And that's a little late.

It seems to have stopped raining.

Paper dude needs to deliver my sunday paper.

Happy Birthday, Tom!!!

I'm up super-late for me, but then was up much in the night with the wee one, who is, like Franny, recovering from a stomach bug. She threw up in the grocery store too - whee!

In sad news my baby sister has gotten rejected from most of her colleges and wait-listed from the 2 I thought she'd get into (Smith and BU). She got into UC, but then who doesn't? I think she has had poor support and advice (I know she has had poor parental support and advice). I really need to get her out of Cincinnati (no offense to our lovely Cincinnatian, but she needs her horizons broadened and to get away from her parents). I suppose she can do a year and transfer, but I'm afraid this is the molasses that will keep her stuck forever.

Hey, wait a minute. My birthday is only 23 hours long this year. What's up with that?

I think that means you're not as old as you think you are, Tom.

Nicole, what a beautiful color you used for Tom's name! Is it a hexidecimal code, or a just a t font color="colorname" tag?

Tom, it just means you'll be one hour younger than everyone else your age. Try to think of it as a good thing. Any big plans for the day?

Cindy, just a color name tag. "#9900ff", in fact.

Happy Birthday Tom!

Unexpectedly, my VCR and digital cable box automaticlaly updated to the correct time this morning. My alarm clock wasn't so wise, but at least I spotted it before going back to work tomorrow.

Nicole, that's what I meant by hexidecimal. I'm thinking I used the wrong word. Thanks, anyhow. That's what I wanted. It's a beautiful color.

Matt, that's the only way I can figure out the time on these days. Someday, the cable company is going to change its routine, and I'm going to be late (or early) for everything.

Tom, do you have any plans for the day?

Oh flea, here's hoping your daughter's bug passes quickly and passes right by you and your dh. I'm sorry for your sister re college.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes, people.

No real plans for the day, though.

Happy Birthday, Tom!!!

I really need to get her out of Cincinnati (no offense to our lovely Cincinnatian, but she needs her horizons broadened and to get away from her parents).

No offense taken at all. I left Cincy for college (though I should have gone farther away than I did), and it was a good thing.

Oh, yeah -- why am I up??? I went to bed after 3 a.m. (new time), and woke up at 9:30. That's nuts. This time change should lead to me sleeping later, not getting up earlier.
